Don’t do it
Pros
Location is phenomenal and rent is on the lower end for the area but it’s not worth sacrificing your mental health and standard of living.
Cons
Not clean or well maintained. Leaks, mold, pests, random holes and cracks everywhere. Packages constantly stolen, janky lock on the front door Plumbing is always backed up so heat barely works half the time. Garbage and recycling is just a feee for all in front of the building. Cherry on top is that the landlord is an asshole (and infamous for being one. Many who live or have lived in the area knows his rep and sends sympathy when i tell them who mine is).
Cheap but not worth it
Pros
Central AF Extremely quiet location Cute courtyard to store stuff / hang out in the hammock
Cons
So dirty, my god Share rent with mice. We call ours Mickey Zero security as the front building door doesn't close/lock Packages being stolen
Advice to the owners
He ain't gonna look as he's got 15 other buildings in W'burg lmao
